Australia's Largest Green Hydrogen Projects Set for Development in South Australia and Northern Territory
Key Ideas
  • Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) plans two 10GW green hydrogen projects in South Australia and Northern Territory using proprietary renewable hydrogen production modular technology.
  • Projects will utilize solar panels, atmospheric water generators, and electrolysers to produce hydrogen independently off-grid, addressing water scarcity concerns.
  • CIC aims to unlock Australia's renewable hydrogen production potential by leveraging abundant solar resources and innovative technologies, positioning the country as a hydrogen superpower.
  • Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy targets reducing green hydrogen cost to under AUS$2.80 per kg by 2030, with significant international investments in green hydrogen projects across the country.
Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) has unveiled plans to develop two 10GW green hydrogen projects in South Australia and the Northern Territory, utilizing solar PV technology. The projects aim to leverage CIC's proprietary renewable hydrogen production modular technology, which includes solar panels, atmospheric water generators, and electrolysers. By using atmospheric water and operating off-grid, the projects address concerns about water scarcity and energy consumption associated with green hydrogen production. While still in the early planning stages, these projects are poised to be the largest green hydrogen initiatives in Australia to date. CIC has engaged with government officials in South Australia to discuss plans and garner support. The company aims to tap into Australia's solar-rich regions to unlock opportunities for renewable hydrogen production, emphasizing the country's potential to become a renewable hydrogen superpower. Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy targets reducing the cost of green hydrogen production significantly by 2030, with a focus on leveraging solar energy to achieve this goal. The country's robust solar capacity and ongoing deployment of solar PV systems highlight its potential as a key player in the global green hydrogen market. International investments in green hydrogen projects in Australia have been increasing, with significant developments by companies like BP and Aboriginal Clean Energy Partnership. These initiatives, coupled with local projects such as the one by Green Gold Energy, underscore the growing momentum towards green hydrogen production in the country.
